WILL.I.AM CHOPPER SHOCK

WILL.I.AM dropped in on Oxford Uni to talk about climate change in his own private helicopter.

His 286-mile round trip from London used 71.5 gallons of fuel and pumped three-quarters of a tonne of CO2 into the atmosphere.

That is the same as the average UK resident produces in a month.
